Your point you keep losing people on is this whole “it’s not free time you can’t spend it how you choose” makes zero sense. On a lunch you can go eat food, go to the bank, go get your car washed, go get your taxes done, spend some time with a significant other, take a walk and on and on. You have to have a better argument because again you’re making it seem like you’re held hostage and have to get permission from your employer to do anything while you’re out on lunch. And let’s say you magically get paid for lunch. How will getting paid allow you to get things done during the same time span that you magically can’t get done currently? None of this makes sense.
